   So, there you go that is the answer to "how is it that you can disagree   
   with verified facts"; you spew nonsensical, cranky garbage in which it   
   supposed to be understood that "the behavior specified by its input D"   
   and "the behavior of D" are magically two different entities.   
      
   Magical thinking.

   Then that termination analyzer is obviously incorrect.   
      
   The machine D specifies a behavior D() which is absolutely   
   the same.   
      
   ... and so, to reiterate, that's how it goes when a pathetic crank   
   disagrees with verified facts.
